It includes a map, break down of the basic history, stats for the main characters, details on the territories in the world, the threats, and the seasons. It also includes information not available in the comics. Since the game has to include info on how you become a Mouse Guard and all the options available to you, the comic book creator had to fill in many blanks that the comics didn't cover. My understanding is that some of this material will also inspire future comics! It's pretty thorough and does a great job of interspersing these information with the game's rules from what I can tell.I'll try to break down the table of contents in a meaningful way as some of the chapter titles may not be immediately obvious.- Foreword (from the comic creator)- It Revolves on This (what this game is, what is an RPG, how to use the book, what the comics are, the basic mechanic)- The Mouse Guard (history of the Mouse Guard, details on Lockhaven, the Mouse Guard oath, duties of the Mouse Guard, example Mouse Guard character, breakdown of the character sheet, stats for the main characters)- It’s What We Fight For (character personalities, beliefs, goals, instincts, and how the come into play)- The Mission (how you play a typical session, breakdown down missions, how to design a mission, what the GM does, what the players do, introducing obstacles, overcoming obstacles, rewards, sample mission)- Resolution (basic rules, how to use the system, conflict mechanics, teamwork) - Seasons (essentially rules for creating situations, how weather effects life and missions, it lays out what play looks like through an entire year in the fiction)- The Territories (details territories, major towns and cities, location, structure, size, government, trades, imports/exports, lesser known towns and settlements, with plenty of art, how to create your own territories, obstacles and threats to the territories, details on areas outside the territories, Darkheather and the Wild Country)- Denizens of the Mouse Territories (lots of stats for characters in the comics, lots of sample NPCs, details on the Weasels, Weasel allies, livestock, wild animals, communication and culture, natural order, and a pretty graph showcases the size of most of the animals relative to each other)- Abilities and Skills (list of abilities and skills, how they work, how to advance your character through play, learning new skills) - Traits (how to play and evolve traits)- Sample Missions (12 sample character templates for quick play, 3 sample missions/adventures, how to continue these adventures, how to modify the character templates)- Recruitment (how to create custom characters, it uses a series of questions to evolve who your character is from where you were born, to who your parents are, who you apprenticed under)- Index (very well laid out, easy to use, and detailed, 6 pages)- Reference (general citing)I hope that helps!Rock,John</blockquote>
